Recommendations for Android PS2 Emulators

I would highly recommend you to have a high-end Android smartphone to use PS2 Emulators. The reason behind it is that PS2 games have very high-quality graphics and they are very large in size (in GBs). Now, to run such a huge file, you need the best processor, GPU, and high RAM. If not, you will get stuttering and frame lag between games, black screen, which gives you bad gaming experience. So, follow these recommendations before you use any of the Emulator.

Android phone with Snapdragon 835 processor or higher

Minimum 4 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage

Graphical Unit (GPU) of Adreno 540 GPU or higher
